Moving loose ballast

The first thing i done in this task was to read the job sheet to find out what i was going to be doing. I found out that i was going to be moving 1ton of loose ballast  in a group using wheel barrows and shovels. I then had to fill out a risk assessment on my partner to see if he was able to carry out the task(because we were in a group it was easier to do a 1 on 1 risk assessment then everyone doing one sheet together). After i knew we were all able to carry out the task i had to fill out another risk assessment but this one was on the actual task in hand, we had to make sure we had done things like wearing correct PPE, avoid any extreme body movement that could cause damage to your body and made the load easier to lift such as the correct way to carry it, also we had to note the control measures with moving loose ballast, my control measures were to wear correct PPE which was steel toe cap boots, gloves and goggles to protect feet if the wheelbarrow fell on one side and broke feet, gloves to stop hands from rubbing on the handles of shovel and wheelbarrow and goggles if any sharp uncleaned ballast hits eyes. After this was done i checked the delivery note to see if we had the correct material and quantity, i was able to sign the ticket as there was no sign of fault. Before i started the task i checked the access route to ensure there were no obstructions, once i knew it was all safe i put on correct PPE which were steel toe cap boots which protect feet from falling shovels or wheelbarrows, goggles for any bit of ballast hitting eyes and gloves so hands do not rub on the wheel barrow and shovel handle. Finally i was able to start with the task, i learnt the correct way to dig ballast and to hold a wheelbarrow. I had a turn of digging the ballast and to carry it, we used the wheelbarrow to carry it to another location near where we started and back again, once we had finished we cleaned up any mess we made and told the boss we had finished the task
